Dominant vitreoretinal degeneration, first described by Wagner as a benign ocular condition, has become widely associated with a familial retinal degenerative process accompanied by retinal detachment. No one in the family described by Wagner suffered from a retinal detachment. Vitreoretinal degeneration, often progressing to detachments, occurs also in several distinct bone dysplasias. A classification of syndromes with vitreoretinal degeneration is provided and its significance as a sign of connective tissue diseases, probably involving type II collagen, is discussed. In this sense, the disorder resembles ectopia lentis as a sign of various connective tissue diseases.
